Need info on HID bulbs.
I was looking in the owner's manual for the 2006 GS and found out that the new HID light system use the D4S bulbs. I have two extra 8000K HID D2S bulbs and I want to replace the factory D4S bulbs on my new GS with it. I like the deep blue color that the 8000k bulbs give out. The factory is just white. Will the D2S bulbs work with the new D4S bulbs HID system? Any info is appricated.
first time i ahve heard of d4s, but a little search on google.....

What are D3S and D4S type HID bulbs?
D3x and D4x are mercury free versions of the D1x and D2x light sources. They do not work with older D1x/D2x type ballasts because steady on voltage is only 36 V. Compare that to a D1x/D2x style, and u will see that voltage is 85 V. In detail, 42 +/- 9 V can be measured at a D3x/D4x bulb. They have same output, same life as D1x/D2x bulbs

I heard these new bulbs are around 4800k instead of 4300k and there a tad brighter like 500lm more. Do you see a difference in color? They make Xeneco bulbs from Philips that are 5800k that will work for your car. Should be around $300 shipped though. Id rather 6500k myself.
